Molly Bakes Cafe

They have opened this pretty little coffee and cake house on Kingsland Road in Dalston. Be excited by the decadent tropical theme, inspired by a trip to Tulum in Mexico. The perfect place to take a minute out of your day while we wait for summer to arrive! I do have to let you know this is not just a great place to grab something to eat and drink but a great place to chill – they even have a range of adult colouring books!

They serve a selection of their most popular cakes and bakes, with coffee from Climpson & Sons, tea from Teapigs, hot chocolate from Jaz & Juls and soda from Square Root. Nothing here is just your average greasy spoon! If you are looking for a savoury delight they serve a range of toasts with toppings such as radishes and tomato to peanut butter, banana and cinnamon. Don’t go thinking this is just your normal boring bread either! It is from Dusty Knuckles Bakery alongside the delicious croissants from Yeast Bakery, and Molly Bakes endeavour to use local suppliers wherever possible. Truly giving this café that London feel.

As you can image they do have another delight up their sleeve in the form of their Freakshakes, the popular Australian food trend. They are made from fresh ice cream from another local London company Ice Cream Union and they are topped with a multitude of goodies. With things like brownies, honeycomb, tartlets, sauces (not forgetting they are all made by them), the shakes are available in four flavours Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Raspberry and Caramel.

If you can’t pop down to the bakery then check out their blog, the recipes sounds pretty straight forward, and absolutely delicious; http://bakeitlikemolly.com/
